History Trivia / DragonBallZAbridged

** Kirran Somerlade aka [=LordMoonstone=] is also a critic of the series, but he still became a member of Team Four Star and even joined the main trio of [=KaiserNeko=], Lanipator, & [=Takahata101=] as one of the writers for ''Dragon Ball Z Abridged'' itself.

** Creator/{{Lanipator}} has admitted in various gaming streams that Piccolo is either his favourite or one of his favourite characters from Dragon Ball and that Piccolo was one of the first roles he auditioned for when DBZA was in it's early stages.** [=KaiserNeko=] has said many times that Future Trunks is one of his favourite characters although ironically his casting as Future Trunks for DBZA wasn't an intentional case of AscendedFanboy. Kaiser has gone on record and stated that he auditioned other people for the role and he ended up being chosen because his performance was the best.

* HireTheCritic: Grant Smith aka Master Wuggles hates ''Dragon Ball Z Abridged'' and its style of comedy. However, Team Four Star invited him as guest for their gaming content and he eventually became a full member of TFS. He would later contribute to ''DBZA'' himself, first by reprising some roles from ''WebVideo/PokemonTheAbridgedSeries'' for the ''Cell Vs.'' videos, then as a bit role in Episode 58 of the series proper.
